I believe "Do not photograph under pain of severe penalties" was at one point a standard sign on 1950s era train stations and other installations in the USSR and Warsaw Pact countries.
You can still find those sings on some fences around military objects in Poland.
Why would you run an allegedly platform-dependent runtime on an emula^H^H^H^H compatibility layer?
What other choice do you have if you work using programs (plural -- they often work together) that require WinXP (SP2) and.NET (some use 1.1, some use 2.0)? I am specifically talking about various CAT (Computer Aided Translation) software, but I guess there are others.
Well, you probably have a few of those devices, right? And you probably leave many of them "off" much longer than "on". So the actual ratio is not as good as the basic 98% reduction. And there is the thing about older devices, or devices simply not compliant with the norms you mentioned. 98% my ass.
It depends on the definition of "much". It might be a lot less than in the "on" state, but remember it consumes all the time your TV is turned "off". You do the math.
This is still the case, only the technology has advanced, and now they use less than full power to keep warm enough for a quick start. I am not sure about TVs, but manuals for monitors usually state how much power they use on idle.
No, they just do not want to pay, and they feel they will get away with it (as they should). Fighting a company which is perceived as evil is just a side effect here, IMO.
Funny as it seems, I know I am much easier to anger shortly after waking up. (And I mean even when waking up on my own, without any devices or people to "help".)
They admitted in the article that there are better kinds of oil for this kind of setup, and that one would have to clean the parts after taking them out. This was just proof of concept, I guess.
I still find it pretty cool, since there are no moving parts, and it is probably "a tad" cheaper than the fanless cases Zalman sells...

Hey, at least they made me do my backup on schedule. This does not happen often, you know.
You forgot to add MP3 playback on the first core. Those are modern, powerful processors, you know.
Apparently not in space.
... and cowards?

The reason is no mystery. My 6 months old keybord does not stink. My toilet seat after two weeks of not cleaning it, on the other hand...
That would not require a robot, just a screen to display the messages.
Actually, it makes sense to do both. Remember that households are not the only energy consumers.

In the meantime we (I use XP) are all beta testers...
I have learned to make myself yawn on purpose. Why use artificial tears if you can have your own? (This is not a joke.)

Nah, it seems nobody got that far.
It runs contrary to "Install stuff you need to work with"?
